I am deciding on wether or not to go with the Orange or the Vox Ac30. I hear Orange's are alot darker then Vox's. Any thoughts or recommendations.

Careful with the VoxAC30's. The prices on new AC30s have gone way down and with it the quality of workmanship. A while back I was looking to get one myself, but was scared away by some of the harmony central reviews that talked about poor reliability. The new price was also around $1600-1700 (Canadian) at the time. I know someone with the orange and it is excellent. Try them both out and see what sounds better to you....and be aware of things like workmanship.....plastic jacks.....vox....

Oranges are great, british handmade and voxes are, well, chinese nowadays...

if you're intent on looking into the AC30 realm, i suggest looking at the hayseed 30.

its an exact replica of a '63 AC30, all handwired, point to point...and for half what they probably could be going for.
